What's Inside

A Practical Guide to Oxygen Materials Compliance

The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) and European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA) harmonized their primary design guides for gaseous oxygen services (CGA G-4.4, EIGA Doc 13) and liquid oxygen / cold gaseous oxygen service (CGA G-4.14, EIGA Doc 200). The Asian Industrial Gases Association (AIGA) has also undergone a similar harmonization effort (AIGA 021/20, AIGA 094/26).

This guidance provides valuable criteria for selecting materials used in industrial oxygen piping and equipment, but applying it to a specific component or system is not always straightforward.

This free guide organizes the relevant criteria into a practical review process that engineers can use to evaluate materials, document compliance, and identify areas requiring further analysis.
